take care

colored pencil

I think that it is important to care for people, as well as for our earth. So many people are focused on plants and earth, but there are issues today having to do with people that not many as many people (especially young people) are interested in. I have included an old woman in a wheelchair because I feel like respecting the elderly and thanking them for what they have done is very important. The "L" is a person carrying cans of food, another issue that is prevalent today. Many people take their food for granted, most people can grab a snack or eat whenever they want, but for many people, that is not the reality. On the other hand, I have included other things having to do with taking care of the earth, such as the garden hose. I used various Prismacolors, such as violet, neon orange, grass green, ultramarine, and yellow. I wanted the colors to stand out and be bright and happy. I also used a Sharpie pen to make emphasize the figures.

I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do for this project and I had a lot of trouble thinking of an idea, so I just complied a bunch of random kind acts together to make one piece. I first sketched it out on a separate piece of paper and then went over it with colored pencils. After I had burnished the colored pencils, I went over it with a Sharpie pen. I think that I could add more stuff to the background, maybe just simple cartoon people or a cityscape or something like that. I think that I didn't try my best for this piece, which is something I'm ashamed of, so I think I would want to do it over again to make it better.
